10,000-Vot
BY SUSAN USHER
Brunswick Technical College has

? r?o" o.- t--will
result in 10,000 favorable votes
on Nov. 19, when voters go to the polls
to decide the fate of a proposed $8
million county bond issuance.
The money would be used to
finance construction of new buildings
on the college's permanent campus
along U.S. 17 between Supply and
Bolivia. The college now has
facilities and programs in three locations,
all overcrowded.
"We plan to identify 500 workers,
including the faculty, trustees, foundation
members. We're also seeking
volunteers from the community to
join me campaign," explained Joe
Carter, president. "We're going to
ask each worker to get committments
from at least 20 people. They
will agree to vote for the referendum.
That would get us 10,000 votes. The
county has about 17,000 registered
voters."
The plan was approved by the college's
board of trustees at its Sept. 18
meeting.
A mid-October fish fry will be held
to kick off the low-key campaign,
which is to climax with a get-out-andvote
telephone drive on the eve of the
referendum.
The college also is working to insure
all its students are registered to
vote, with voter registrars available
during fall term registration.

Twelve people have signed up for
training as volunteers to assist victims
of sexual assault but more
volunteers are needed, says
Margaret G. Shelton of the
Brunswick County Council on the
Status of Women.
The council is recruiting "caring"
volunteers to assist the victims as
they deal with hospitals, law enforcement
agencies and the court system.
. Training sessions will be held Oct.
11 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and again
Oct. 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. In the
public assembly hall at the
Brunswick County Government
Center at Bolivia.
Elena Peterson of Rape Task
Force/Crisis line In New Hanover
County, will coordinate the training
program with local hospitals, law enforcement
agencies and the court
system.
In the past several years, Ms.
Shelton noted, Brunswick County has
experienced an increase in the
number of rapes and other forms of
sexual assault reported to local law
enforcement agencies

quently committed violent crime in
the United States, with one rape occurring
every six minutes, she said.
More than 50 percent of all rapes
are committed by someone the victim
knows, in the victim's home and
durins davlieht hours Npiirlv thren
fourths of all rapes are planned, not
crimes of lust but of violence.
"In light of these facts we feel that
a rape task force Ls vitally needed in
our county," she added. "This Is a
first for our county und it Is not a bit
too soon."
The availability of task force
volunteers Is expected to make
reporting the crime and dealing with
its after-effects less traumatic for the
victim and his or her family.
"The volunteer is there to provide
emotional support and to insure that
the system works smoothly for the
victim," said Ms. Goodman. "The
volunteer should be a person who
cares for people."
She said some qualifications Include
the ability to listen actively, to
be einpathetic, to be sensitive and
perceptive, to be objective, and to interact
with a broad variety of people
